Those who have recourse to diviners, or to so-called ‘centurions’, or to any such persons, in order to learn from them whatever it is they want to discover, shall be subject to the canonical penalty of six years, in accordance to the decrees made by the Fathers not long ago in such matters. The same penalty ought to be inflicted on those who keep bears in tow and other such animals in order to deceive and cause mischief to the more simple-minded, haranguing the throng with fortune and fate and genealogy and other such words used in the trumpery of imposture, as well as the so-called cloud-chasers, sorcerers, purveyors of amulets, and diviners. If they persist in these things and do not renounce and flee these deadly pagan practices, we decree that they should be cast out altogether from the Church, as the sacred canons declare. For ‘what fellowship is there between light and darkness? asks the Apostle, or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? Or what does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement does Christ have with Beliar?’ (tr. George Nedungatt & Michael Featherstone)
